12.6.2 Description and operation

12.6.2.1 Bottom of frame and body

The frame at the front and rear of vehicle is a subframe which is isolated from the body by rubber bushings. It
provides support to the powertrain, the lower control arms of front suspension and the power steering gear with tie
rod assembly. Any misalignment will lead to the wheels misalignment. The frame is bolted to the body by the
rubber bushings. The underbody must be properly positioned in order to ensure proper suspension and wheels
positioning. The individual underbody components contribute directly to the overall strength of unibody. Use
proper welding techniques during maintenance operations to the unibody. The part must be protected against
corrosion as long as the body repair operation is damaged or the original surface is damaged, refer to

12.12.2.4

Corrosion Prevention

in description and operation of "Collision Maintenance".
